For 30 years, Denscot Pool & Spa has perfected the art of turning ordinary backyards into luxurious oases. Rooted in passion for family and community, the mission is simple yet profound: to “create enjoyable lifestyles,” one property at a time. The vision, embodied by Scott and Heather Meeker, the couple behind Denscot, resonates through every custom installation and service they provide.
Having established itself as a premier contractor for Litchfield and Dutchess counties, Denscot specializes in inground gunite and fiberglass pools, and spas. Heather fondly recalls the early days when their young family gathered around the pool for simple pleasures and celebrations.
“We created a lifestyle by the pool that we wanted to share with others,” she reflects.
What began as a small service-oriented business has flourished into an award-winning company, known for impeccable design, expert installation, and personalized customer care.
Scott’s journey into the industry, however, began long before Denscot’s inception. As a teenager working for a local pool company, Scott quickly discovered a natural aptitude for the trade. After completing his bachelor’s degree, he transitioned to a full-time position, establishing a successful service and maintenance department.
In 1994, with Heather’s support, Scott launched Denscot Pool & Landscape Services LLC, laying the foundation for their family-run business. They worked tirelessly to provide top-tier service, maintenance, and renovations, eventually expanding into custom design and installation.
As Denscot’s reputation grew, so did its vision. By 2000, the company was designing and installing luxury gunite pools. Since then, technological advancements and evolving customer tastes have led to stunning, modern pools that blend seamlessly with their surroundings, enhancing both aesthetic and overall experience.
Modern innovative design elements push boundaries, from elegant bubblers and built-in seating, to mesmerizing LED lights and automatic covers that provide safety, thermal retention, and reduced maintenance.
“It’s a game-changer for pool owners,” Scott explains. “The convenience and functionality these covers provide have made them an essential element in today’s pool designs.”
Smart automation has revolutionized pool ownership, making it easier than ever to control temperature, lighting, and sanitization—all from mobile devices. This has transformed how people interact with their pools, offering unprecedented convenience and ensuring that maintenance is virtually effortless.
Denscot’s reputation for excellence is underscored by numerous industry awards, including Gold, Silver, and Bronze honors for innovative designs, construction, and renovation and retail. The work epitomizes a commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and technological advancements. As a member of the Northeast Spa and Pool Association (NESPA) and the Connecticut Spa and Pool Association (CONSPA), Scott continues to play an active role in shaping the future of design.
Now, with their children—Allie, Sarah, Austin, and Owen—integrated into the business, Denscot has evolved into a second-generation family company. The Meekers remain committed to providing clients with the highest level of customer care and craftsmanship.
“We’re a pool company, a high-end pool company,” they reflect, “but it’s so much more than that. It’s about creating a lifestyle.”
From locations in New Preston and Goshen, Denscot continues to redefine pool design, fusing beauty, functionality, and effortless luxury transforming each backyard into a sanctuary—one that will be cherished by generations. —denscotpools.com
